About Us, Choice Hospice

We know the term “Hospice” can be an intimidating one that often cause feelings of fear and anxiety rather than compassion, care and comfort. Here at Choice Hospice, we operate in a conscientious way to help people understand that does not have to be you or your loved ones experience.

Just because Hospice criteria is having a terminal illness with a prognosis of 6 months or less does not necessarily mean you or your loved one only have 6 months or less to live.

We have many patients that live much longer, even years in some cases. We take pride and joy in helping our patients and families be the best they can be in health and functioning for as long as possible, after all this IS QUALITY in LIFE. We believe in individualized plans of care that are catered to each individuals needs and what they specifically wish to experience with their hospice care.

Please see our “Myths and Facts” page for more information regarding common misconceptions regarding hospice care.
